How often have you smudged your freshly manicured nails or toes? Too often than not, right? Do you feel like you spend more time at the nail salon waiting for your nails to dry before you can feel like a normal functioning person again? How many times in the winter have you waited over half an hour to allow your toes to dry, only to discover later that you’ve once again smudged your toe polish?!?! The disappointment I feel at the sight of my poor smudged nails is so saddening and at times frustrating, thinking I just spent all this time, I don’t already have, waiting for my polish to dry. In a world where time management is key and everything is being created to make life more convenient, I knew I had to find an alternate solution to smudged toe and finger nails.
At the suggestion of a friend, I tried a no-chip manicure. I must say, I’m hooked. Although the actual process of the manicure takes longer than a regular manicure (1 hour vs. ½ hour), your nails are completely dry at the end! NO waiting time at all for nails to dry, so essentially the timing is the same! You can use your hands immediately! Dig into your purse to pay or search for car keys, text on your cell phone, return to work without worrying about smudging your nails. The cost is generally around $35, but the up-keep is approximately every 2-3 weeks, depending on how quickly your nails grow.
Not only is it amazing for your hands, but I also tried the no-chip on my feet. LOVED it for winter, because again your immediately dry allowing you to put your socks and shoes on without fear of smudging. It can be a bit costly, $50 +, but worth it in the winter!!
Some people ask, does it really not chip? How is it dry upon completion? Choosing from an array of colors, each layer of gel is brushed onto the nail then placed briefly under an ultraviolet lamp, allowing the gel to harden, rendering it invulnerable to environment aggressors or your busy work and social life!
